Chapter 46 The Outbreak of War

Waking up in the morning, when Shen Yi went to the restaurant to have breakfast, he habitually picked up the newspaper beside him. шШщm|no * pop * window * small * talk * net|

A line of headlines came into view:

"The outbreak of war!"

On July 14, 357 in the calendar of the Arendre Empire, the two continents of the Arendre Empire and the Tianlu Dynasty joined forces and formally declared war on the Lionheart Kingdom.

The soldiers of the Arendre Empire came out of Twin Peaks and attacked Salva, firing the first shot of the Continental War. The Tianlu Dynasty launched 200,000 troops to besiege the city of San Sejos.

The fierce battle ended one day later. The Arendt soldiers were unparalleled in their bravery. They killed countless enemies and exhausted their courage. It is estimated that they will be able to capture Salwar within two days, and then drive all the way in, and completely liberate the entire territory of the Lionheart Kingdom within five days. Of course It's just what the newspapers say.

"It's really full of nonsense." After reading the newspaper, Shen Yi shook his head and smiled.

In fact, as early as yesterday, Shen Yi already knew about the situation of the battle.

On the first day of the battle, the two countries not only failed to take advantage, but suffered some small losses.

Because of getting the news in advance, the Gods and Demons Empire immediately mobilized six regiments, with a total of 300,000 troops divided into two big cities.

In addition, Shen Yi also gently told the Lionheart Kingdom that they knew that the Arendre Empire would not bring up the Fourth Army, which was good at dealing with air troops, in the early stages of the war, so he arranged for the Dragon Army to go to Salva early.

The Arendts, who thought that the Dragon Legion would fight against the Tianlu Dynasty, suffered a small loss because of this, and paid a lot of casualties under the fierce attack of the Dragon Legion.

On the other side, it was also Hong Lang's tip-off that caused the Royal Guards to teach Tianlu Dynasty a harsh lesson during the war.

In the end, the three parties ended the war with a loss ratio of 1 to 2, and the Lionheart Kingdom had the upper hand. However, considering the terrain factors, the three countries are still in an acceptable state for this exchange of combat power.

In return for selling information on the enemy's movements, the gentle and fat people each received a skill scroll.

Super Stealth skill scroll and Blessed Hammer skill scroll.

Hammer of Blessing: Attacks targets within 200 meters, causing 280 points of damage, with a 2-second stun effect, 3 times the damage effect on energy shields and mech defenses, consuming 12 points of mental power,

Cooldown time is three minutes.

Wenrou didn't plan to learn the skill of super stealth. She already had the dark boots that can make her invisible. Although it can only be used at night, it would be a waste to learn it again, so she planned to sell it or pass it on to others to learn.

Hammer of Blessing is a very powerful Templar skill. It is not only a stun skill, but also a long-range skill. The damage is not low, and it is more effective against mechs and energy defense.

Fatty learned this skill, and he really lacks conventional attack skills, and there is just a slot in the skill bar.

"It's indeed nonsense, but if it goes on like this, it will be detrimental to the Lionheart Kingdom after all, right?" Chu Sheng asked Shen Yi from the side.

"That is inevitable. Now they still have a strong city to defend, and they can rely on their geographical advantages. Once Salva and San Sejos fall, the strength of the two countries can be brought into play, and the Lionheart Kingdom will be in danger." Shen Yi answered casually.

"How long do you think this will take?"

"That depends on the courage of the two countries and the sacrifices they are willing to make for it. However, under normal circumstances, border cities can be captured within three days at most. Once the border is breached, theoretically seven days are enough to occupy the entire territory."

"So fast?" Chu Sheng exclaimed, "You mean it only takes ten days to finish a continental hegemony?"

"Well, don't forget that this is not the earth world we understand. The action power of this world is much stronger than that of the earth."

There are many factors that determine how long a war lasts, including logistical support, soldier actions, enemy tenacity, and more.

Without considering resistance, the action of soldiers is the first element. In a devastating war, the time to occupy the entire territory is usually directly proportional to the advance time of soldiers.

In the US war against Iraq, this speed of advancement was best interpreted. The Americans entered Baghdad almost unimpeded all the way. Of course, long-term and stable occupation is another matter.

In the Wushuang world, the mobility of the soldiers on the three continents far exceeds that of the earth. Just think about the fact that it only takes three days to complete a war mobilization, and you can understand how terrifying this kind of mobility is.

It only took two days for Gentle to complete a round trip from Lionheart Kingdom to Central City.

Therefore, if the resistance is weak, it is not uncommon to win the whole territory within ten days, Shen Yi's estimate is considered conservative.

"Then what if the resistance factor is included?"

After thinking about it, Shen Yi replied: "...Twenty days."

"It can only be delayed for ten days?"

"yes."

"why?"

"Because they are too brave." Shen Yi replied.

Chu Sheng was shocked by this answer:

closure

Shen Yi has explained: "War is a game for warriors, and it is also a chess game for wise men. However, in the world of Wushuang, there is no such thing as a wise man. Because it is not his tactical quality that determines whether a person can become a general, but his own combat power The pursuit of power makes people in this world hardly have any decent tactics. Relying on force to fight bravely is the way they are really good at. The two armies are at war, and there is no retreat in a deadly battle. Retreat means defeat, and defeat means Death, this kind of thinking has penetrated into the consciousness of almost everyone, even if you want to tell them the essence of guerrilla warfare, they will not understand, they will only think you are a coward. Whether it is Arendt, or Lionheart or Tianlu, they are all the same in this respect. They also understand tactics, but all tactics are used in frontal confrontation, such as splitting and attacking, attacking east and west, diagonal formation, etc. They all understand. But like interspersed and roundabout , deploy defenses layer by layer, and they will not understand the logistics, or they will not pay attention to it if they understand it.”

He approached Chu Sheng: "They are more used to fighting each other in an array. Killing the enemy or being killed by the enemy, the one who survives is the winner. Knowing how to use the formation and various war instruments is already the limit of their war wisdom .In this case, how long do you think it will take for a war to be decided?"

Chu Sheng opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "It really doesn't take too long."

It's like two teams of soldiers standing there with their heavy machine guns firing at each other, and the result will naturally come out very quickly.

"Is this also your fault?" He asked Shen Yi.

Shen Yi nodded: "From the very beginning, I deliberately avoided all tactics that might delay time...I don't allow them to exist in this world." Shen Yi replied.

For an adventurer, a mission that can only be carried out for one month must be based on high efficiency, otherwise it is impossible for him to establish two companies in a few days.

War is the same, everything must be based on efficiency - if you can't have twice the time, then have twice the efficiency.

Chu Sheng couldn't help muttering: "Damn it, if this is the case, there is no reason for the three continents to exist until now, and they should be unified after a random war."

This kind of duel-style war really has no reason for the long-term existence of multiple parties.

Shen Yi replied lightly: "Because history never existed."

—————————— Twin Peaks City.

Zhou Yiyu was standing at the top of the city looking into the distance, from here he could vaguely see Salva on the opposite side.

Attacks during the day have left the walls of Salwar completely devastated.

In the era of giant ships and cannons, this kind of ancient city walls can still function, not because the stones here are hard enough, but because the walls of the Lionheart Kingdom have been reinforced by alchemy arrays. Not only do they have magic defense covers, Walls can even be repaired automatically.

In order to break through the defense, the Arendre Empire used 300 heavy artillery pieces to bombard the city wall of Salva during the day, and the other side returned a large-scale spell to fight back. In the end, the Arendre Empire lost more than 60 heavy artillery pieces on the city wall. A gap was blasted, followed by successive attacks from the major legions.

The battle stopped after a stalemate for a day, and the blasted city wall was healed again under the action of the alchemy formation. The nine alchemy towers in the city twinkled in the air, as dazzling as stars in the night, weaving a magic sky in the sky. .

"It looks beautiful, doesn't it?" Atkins' voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

Zhou Yiyu looked back and saw that Atkins was standing on his right side with his arms folded, also looking at the alchemy tower in the sky in the distance.

"A very powerful alchemy formation, the barrier foundation of the Lionheart Kingdom, it's hard to imagine how they developed the alchemy formation to this point." Atkins sighed.

The Alchemy Formation in the Gods and Demons Continent, the Pills and Talisman Records in the Xianxia Continent, and the various high-tech technologies in the Technology Continent are all things they are best at.

"It's like it's also difficult for them to understand our technology." Zhou Yiyu replied.

"That's true." Atkins smiled: "But no matter how powerful it is, it will always be breached, and tomorrow will be its end."

Zhou Yiyu was stunned: "The energy supply of the alchemy formation seems to last at least three or four days."

"Yes, but we don't plan to wait that long. The military department has decided to send an elite team to sneak into Salva tonight and directly destroy the nine alchemy towers."

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Because according to the agreement, whoever takes down the city will own it." Atkins replied.

Zhou Yiyu understood.

Obviously, Arendt and the Tianlu Dynasty couldn't wait to win the city, drive as far as possible, and grab enough territory.

With territory, there will be stronger strength, more technology, and better development!

"How? Are you interested in joining?" Atkins asked, which is why he told Zhou Yiyu the plan.

Zhou Yiyu asked: "How to break through the defense of the city?"

"Don't worry about this. The military department has developed a batch of mechas with invisibility effects. As long as you wear them, you can sneak into the city."

The Stealth Mecha, this is also a special armor designed by Shen Yi and the others, it complements the Colossus of the God of War, and is developed by another big company with the same reputation as Enke Company, but the price is more expensive.

Unexpectedly, this time, the military department was willing to take them out.

After thinking about it, Zhou Yiyu replied, "What's the reward?"

Atkins thought for a while and replied: "Due to the limited number of mechas, each alchemy tower can only go to ten people at most. The military department is responsible for distributing ten stealth mechas. If the task is completed, the mechas will belong to the executor. Hand it in, but there will be no additional distribution. The military department has contributed a total of 180 points for this mission. Every time you destroy an alchemy tower, you can get 20 points of contribution. It is planned to send nine teams. I plan to give you There is one spot reserved for the team."

"I give up." Zhou Yiyu replied.

Sending out 90 people to sneak into the enemy city and destroy the alchemy tower, no matter whether they succeed or not, they will be close to death. Taking such a big risk can only get 180 contribution points, which may be normal for adventurers.

But for Zhou Yiyu and the others, the pay-to-return ratio was simply too low—it was hard for those who were used to eating meat to chew on the bones.

Seeing that Zhou Yiyu didn't agree, Atkins didn't force it, but just left.

Zhou Yiyu checked that there was no one around, then turned on the intercom and said in a secret language: "Beware of sneaking in secretly, the target: the nine alchemy towers."

Without the consent of the Broken Blade team, no one can take this city easily!
